When the 3DS finds missing or corrupted data in the titles folder, it refuses to load the whole folder. The gm9 script and discord command serve to identify the corrupted or missing data. The file the bot asks you to upload, 'title.txt', is a list of all the files and folders in the titles folder. The bot looks for any folders that are missing files so the user may delete them, which should bring everything back. However, the title in question is inaccessible and needs to be reinstalled. |
